02
Front
How do asthma airway changes affect breathing?
Back
These changes narrow the airways and make expiration difficult.
03
Front
What is albuterol’s role in asthma care?
Back
Albuterol is a rapid-acting bronchodilator used to relieve symptoms quickly.
04
Front
What does ICS-containing asthma treatment do?
Back
An inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-containing treatment addresses airway inflammation and reduces exacerbation risk.
05
Front
Is a SABA alone an adequate asthma treatment?
Back
No. Asthma should not be treated with a short-acting beta₂-agonist (SABA) alone; treatment should include an ICS-containing regimen.
06
Front
What reliever approach is preferred for many adults and adolescents?
Back
For many adults and adolescents, ICS-formoterol is the preferred anti-inflammatory reliever approach; the appropriate regimen depends on the patient and local guidance.
07
Front
Which symptoms signal a potentially severe asthma exacerbation?
Back
Speaking only a few words at a time and becoming drowsy are danger signs that may indicate a severe or life-threatening exacerbation.
08
Front
Why is a silent chest an urgent danger sign?
Back
A silent chest warrants particularly urgent care during an asthma exacerbation.
09
Front
What is the priority response to a severe asthma flare?
Back
Activate urgent emergency assistance, support breathing, and begin prescribed emergency treatment without delay.
10
Front
What should be assessed during an acute asthma exacerbation?
Back
Assess respiratory effort, air entry, oxygen saturation, and the patient’s response to treatment.
11
Front
How should a patient with an acute asthma flare be positioned?
Back
Position the patient upright if tolerated.
12
Front
What prescribed therapies may support breathing during an exacerbation?
